BigFrames (BigQuery DataFrame) basics

BigFrames is a Python library that lets you take advantage of BigQuery data processing by using familiar Python APIs.

Dataframe API best practices

• Stay in the Cloud: Perform data cleaning, transformation, and analysis via BigFrames methods to leverage BigQuery's scale rather than downloading data.
• Prefer partial ordering mode: Enable partial ordering mode right after importing BigFrames. This speeds up data processing significantly by relaxing row-sequence constraints.
